NuShell (often shortened to “Nu”) is a modern, cross-platform shell written in Rust that treats all data as structured tables rather than plain text. It supports pipelines on rich typed data, has built-in commands for JSON/CSV/SQL/excel, and offers scripting, autocompletion, scoped variables, and strong error handling—bridging the gap between shell scripting and programming.
Features
- Treats outputs as structured typed tables rather than text streams
- Rich built-in commands (e.g., ls, ps, fetch, where, sort-by) for structured data manipulation
- Strong scripting language with immutable variables, loops, functions
- Excellent autocompletion, diagnostic error messages, and exploration mode
- Extensible plugin system and support for multiple data formats (JSON, CSV, YAML, Excel)
- Cross-platform support on Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows
